Success Case: Oki Co., Ltd.

Context

The Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd., which is also a large provider of financial software solutions, required a robust basis for project planning, risk management, and process improvement. The company had collected measurement data on 15 already completed projects. The current estimation approach was, however, largely based on expert judgment.

"A good estimate is an estimate that provides a clear enough view of the project reality to allow the project leadership to make good decisions about how to control the project to hit its targets."(S. McConell)
